An August 2026 HomeAdvisor customer said the deck Luke Smith built came out exactly as wanted, and described the owner as accommodating and helpful. L & D Builders is based in Bernardston. The company says it has worked there since 1989, building and renovating custom homes and additions, including log homes. Luke Smith's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. A 2019 Google reviewer described hiring L & D for several different projects: substantial home-exterior repair and reconstruction, emergency sewage-line excavation and repair, fitting a 1905 door to a 1980s office frame, and setting up an infrared sauna. The customer praised the company for doing what it promised on schedule and correcting imperfections within the original scope and quote. Roof work also features in customer accounts. In a 2021 Google review, a customer described a roof replacement and smaller roof repairs, praising the crew's work, responsiveness and friendliness. A March 2015 reviewer described water dripping from a kitchen light fixture as snow and ice melted off the roof. L & D came out promptly, cleared the roof, broke up the ice dams and stopped the leak; the customer called the charge reasonable. Google lists a 4.5-star average from four ratings. Angi and HomeAdvisor each list a 5-star average from four ratings.
Luke Smith (owner) did a great job, the deck came out wonderful, exactly what I wanted, very accommodating and helpful.
My kitchen light fixture was dripping this morning with snow and Ice melting off the roof. I called L&D Builders and they came out straight away, cleared my roof, broke up the ice dams and stopped the leak. They were efficient, polite, friendly and charged me a reasonable rate. Highly Recommended!
I've engaged L&D on a few projects, like a substantial home exterior repair and reconstruction, emergency sewage line excavation/repair, fitting a 1905 door to a 1980's office frame, and setting up an infrared sauna. They do exactly what they say and, in a rarity in such services, exactly when they say. They do rigorous quality control and address imperfections (that I would not notice) within original scope and quote. Look, they tower above the bargain basement, and well worth every penny. Your choosing them means excellence, no worries, and no disruption of schedules.
L and D replaced our roof and did other small roof repairs. They did a great job, worked hard, were friendly and pleasant, and really nice to have around. We highly recommend them. They were fair and responsive.
